"AI agents will hold more crypto than humans within a decade."
Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) studied math, dropped out, built one of the only blockchains designed by peer-reviewed research. He co-founded Ethereum, walked away over how it was run, and built Cardano to do it differently.
The man who has argued with everyone in this industry now thinks the biggest user of crypto won't be people at all.
"Humans are a rounding error in the system we're building. AI agents don't sleep, don't panic-sell, and don't care about price. They transact in tokens because that's the only thing they can actually use."
We cover:
- Why AI agents (not humans) become the dominant on-chain actors, and what that does to every token model
- The infrastructure that has to exist before agents can transact safely at scale
- Why most current blockchains can't handle machine-speed transactions
- Where Cardano's research-first approach fits in a world of autonomous agents
- The identity problem: how do you tell a human from an agent on-chain, and why it matters
- Why he's bullish on the technology but blunt about the timeline
- What he thinks the rest of the industry is getting wrong about AI + crypto
- The one thing that has to happen for any of this to be real
Thanks to Charles for coming on @new_era_finance.

Citi Backs Chainlinkโs Role In The Future Of Tokenized Finance
Citi (@Citi) identified Chainlink (@chainlink) CCIP as a critical technology for connecting blockchain networks.
The report forecasts tokenized asset markets could grow to $8.2 trillion by the end of the decade.
Citi said institutions are increasingly seeking secure cross chain infrastructure for asset settlement.
Today, we're announcing a major infrastructure upgrade for Pleasing Market.
After a comprehensive security review, we are deprecating LayerZero and migrating to @Chainlink CCIP as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for PGOLD and USDpm on Arbitrum, Ethereum, Pharos and future expansions.
It's a strategic step toward bringing the global precious metals economy onchain.
